Sadly nothing in the UK in 2015 - or no big one anyway (and I'm not aware of any smaller ones atm). Grant's trying to find a new venue with a better balance between cost and facilities and it doesn't look like anywhere's turned up yet.
I have to admit I've always been in two minds about big meetings like the HU one. I've never been sure exactly where they're pitched - whether they're centres of self promotion for the worldly well travelled or an overlanders open university where you can learn at the feet of the masters. :confused1: But then I've never been much for big bike show, exhibitions etc either. It's probably best to put all that out of your mind and don't overcomplicate things - just get drunk and enjoy the weekend.
The nearest I'm likely to get to a HU meeting this year is the Iron Horse Lodge one in North Carolina on Oct 8-11 but I'm going to be there three weeks earlier. Just starting to plan the trip in detail - so far we've got a start point!
Maybe us oldies should do our own get together - I've got friends in Bideford and go there from time to time - might even be able to come up with a small campsite in Littleham if the weather looked good!
